Weekly Wager Wednesday #12 (1/7/15)

Of course my beloved B’s were the only team to suffer a L in my picks last week, figures right!?

Anyhow at 34-10 to welcome 2015, I ain’t even mad.

Tonight there’s 3 games on and my B’s keep on having a WWW spotlight.

Washington Capitals vs Toronto Maple Leafs

Iggy’s Pick: Caps

Here’s Why: With the recent firing of Leafs coach Randy Carlyle, i think this is the best time for the Caps to strike early and often. Phil Kessel may or may not be feeling the heat himself and it’s going to show on the ice one way or another.

Boston Bruins vs. Pittsburgh Penguins

Iggy’s Pick: Bruins

Here’s Why: The season is on the line here. Really but not really. This is the perfect type of matchup to turn things around and it’s about time that happened with this club.

Detroit Red Wings vs. Calgary Flames

Iggy’s Pick: Flames

Here’s Why: I truly like both teams in this matchup but I’m picking the Flames for their comfort level to be playing at home against a good team.

New York Rangers vs. Anaheim Ducks

Iggy’s Pick: Ducks

Here’s Why: I like the Rangers but not on the road and especially against the west coast. Ducks at home all the way.

I grew up playing Ball and Roller Hockey day and night somewhat religiously throughout elementary and middle school. The two don't compare though when I lace up the skates and hit the ice. I live and breathe hockey beyond the perspective of "it's just a game" and I will gladly talk hockey for hours with anyone. Hockey is more than just a lifestyle, it's a culture of passionate people who make memories every time the puck is dropped. Hockey has not only helped me get through some of the hardest times in life but has created some of the best memories to date. Want to talk hockey with me?
